What this says is that they are suing another comic site, Toomic (ν¬λ―Ήμ€), for publishing some of the authors that left in the incident.
Β Apparently, the authors had used sexual harassment that occurred behind the scenes to them to push for their contacts to be severed and their publishing rights to be returned. This was supposed to be given, according to the Webtoon Association, but it seems that Fox doesn't see it the same way.
The Webtoon Association is demanding that the rights be returned, Foxtoon retract their threats towards the artists, and the artists that have been out of work to be reimbursed for their time out of employment;
